Summary:
"To what extent has China embraced human resource management in the
Western sense? This new book investigates this and many other
important and controversial questions whilst examining human resource
management, work and employment in China and the changing nature of
these vital elements of society and business." "Fang Lee Cooke
addresses a number of thematic issues such as the growing inequality
in employment, public sector reforms, pay systems, vocational
training and small private businesses. These themes are developed
through a combination of rigorous empirical research and secondary
data analysis which explores the distinct incentives and pressures
facing different sectors and ownership forms in shaping their human
resource strategies. The book offers an invaluable insight into the
workings of the political, social, economic and business dimensions
of Chinese society. The author also draws attention to the
considerable similarity in the problems faced by both China and the
developed economies in an increasingly globalised economic
environment which will prove essential reading for all those studying
or with an interest in human resource management, employment
relations, international business or Asian studies."--BOOK
